Cheque fraud is among the oldest and most common forms of financial crime. Even with the advent of electronic payment products, cheques still account for billions of payments each year, making them a prime target for criminals.

Counterfeit - cheques not written or authorized by legitimate account holder
Forged - stolen cheque not signed by account holder
Altered - an item that has been properly issued by the account holder but has been intercepted and the payee and/or the amount of the item have been altered
